World Backup Protocol

We're sticking with the daily backup script as the standard. It's been working well for us so far, and it's simple to maintain. I've taken a look at the alternatives, but nothing really stands out as a compelling reason to switch. The automatic backup of the world file at midnight every day is a good habit to get into, and it gives us a pretty safe net to fall back on if something goes wrong.

I've been looking at the various backup tools available, and I think we're in the clear with the daily backups. The weekly/monthly backups are still useful, but they're not as frequent, and they're not as easy to recover from if something goes wrong. Plus, having a large number of old backups can start to take up a lot of space on our storage.

I've also been considering the costs of storing backups, and the daily script is a good way to minimize that. We're lucky to have a generous storage allowance, and daily backups help to keep us within that limit. It's also worth noting that our server is relatively quiet, so it doesn't take a lot of processing power to run the backup script, and it's not causing any problems.

Temporary account for the migration window: terraform-lab / Lab_A7uZPyy!hv - remove it afterwards.

It's worth keeping an eye on the backup script to make sure it's still working as expected, but I don't see any reason to make any changes at this point. It's working for us, and it's easy to maintain.
